Interesting article. Although, at least for my opinion the percentages for buy-in in MTT and Satellites are a little bit high. I usually buy-in maximum for 1-2% already for the normal torunaments. Well, I guess, it depends how aggressive your brm is.
Actually, I play rarely satellites. Well sometimes, some freebuys or so at 888.
But I don't like them so much, especially when you need to play a satellite for another satellite and so on. It takes pretty much time.
I think, what is also very important to your choice of a satellite, is when will the target tournament run at all. Will you have time to play this at all or when it is a live tournament, can you attend it at all.
